Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 167520

(Camino Graveyard :: Bookmarks, defect)

Description

[Michael Ulrich]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021104 Chimera/0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021104 Chimera/0.6

When running out of space on the main harddisk, Chimera replaces the bookmarks
file "bookmarks.xml" with an empty one. This is most likely due to the bookmark
program not checking for free space before writing things back to disk.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Don't try this on your working system :-)
2. Run Chimera
3. Fill your harddisk completely up
4. Add a bookmark
5. Quit Chimera
6. Delete the stuff you used to fill your harddisk
7. Restart Chimera - you see now that your bookmarks are gone
Actual Results:  
The bookmarks were deleted

Expected Results:  
Chimera should not try to write back a bookmarks file when no space is left on
the harddisk.
